FAQs

Can I volunteer during the school year?

Only Junior Volunteers who have completed a full summer term of volunteering may continue volunteering through the school year (schedule permitting).

We only accept new junior volunteer applications each February and March for summer placement.

Is job shadowing available to junior volunteers?

Individuals seeking a job shadowing opportunity are not assigned as hospital volunteers. Job shadowing is a function that is overseen by the Human Resources and Nursing Departments for students over the age of 18 in healthcare-related fields.

Why should I volunteer?

Junior volunteers provide a pivotal role at LeConte Medical Center. Our hospital staff has so much to do to serve our patients, any help we can provide them is well worth it! There are many benefits of volunteering at LeConte Medical Center. In addition to the rewarding feeling of accomplishment that comes with serving your community, you’ll receive special benefits and opportunities only available to junior volunteers.
